ABOUT HAMSTERS

First of all, nowadays, hamsters are mostly used as pets, although they are rodents, but rather small. Hamsters belong to the rodent family and they are mammals as well. Each hamster has large incisor teeth. There are a lot of kinds of hamsters: Syrian hamsters, Dwarf Campbells Russian Hamsters, Chinese hamsters and so on.

Three hamsters

If a hamster is not a pet it lives in semi-deserts, as a rule, in a burrow. This burrow (if to have a closer look) seem more like labyrinth with enormous tunnels, rooms and spaces for food storage. Hamster, which live in natural conditions hate warm and hot time of the day, as a rule, they spend it while sleeping and than awake in evening, when it is not so hot. The eyesight of hamsters is rather poor, but they compensate it with perfect hearing and smell.

The word “hamster” is derived from the German word “hamstern” - that is “hoard”. Peculiar to all hamsters feature is expanded cheek pouches, their hamsters carry food for further usage or simply take it to the burrow and store there.

Small and cute hamster

Sometimes, Dwarf Hamsters can suffer from the diabetes, if your hamster has a constant thirst and wants drinking all day long, suddenly begin loosing his or her weight, always tired and inactive, irritative and always hungry - go to the veterinarian. The doctor will make a precise diagnosis.

Hamsters are very active, especially young and small hamsters, very often they can fall (for example, at night) and broken a leg - in this case, of course, visit a veterinarian but what is more take away any attachments from his cage and add more calcium in his daily food.
